As we begin a new year we would like to pause and thank you for your continued support of Network Solutions. It’s our pleasure to be of service to small businesses and professionals around the world today, and we wish you continued success through 2011. Over the holidays our busy worker bees took some time to relax, regroup and even expand! We would like to introduce you to Lisa Byrne, the newest team member in our marketing department. Lisa as Social Media Marketing Lead will be helping create an even bigger social buzz online and off. Lisa will make a pleasant difference to our neighbors who now have to listen to my “southern accent” . Recently voted by her peers as D.C.’s top ‘Nightlife Insider’ on washingtonpost.com, we’re excited to get the inside scoop and perhaps share some of the action with our own events in 2011! Most recently Social Media Manager for LifeTuner.org, Lisa has also worked in public relations, media and the hospitality industry. Follow Lisa on Twitter at @DCeventjunkie. Feel free to reach out to her for guest post opportunities.
